Moving sucks. Sets everything back way too far. I've moved like 6 times in the last 4 1/2 years and still got one more when we can get a house built. I've wasted a ton of time and energy on restarting. I feel your pain. Garage looks awesome!

'72 K5 - Greg's @MightAsWellK5 Build
- Thread starter Greg72
- Start date
This is the build description. I will improve this later. (GB)
That makes TWO of us...
A/C install is critical now. 100 degrees every day here in Austin for the next 2 months...
I've still got a huge pile of equipment / parts under a blue tarp in the side yard. It needs to come safely back into the garage
That requires the overhead storage area to be completed.... I'm probably 75% complete with that.
Overhead ceiling is still not cut-out to create the vaulted ceiling.
Finish the 220V wiring in the breaker panels
More 110V outlets along the back wall where my toolboxes and workbenches will need to go.
etc.
etc.
etc.
I don't really like allowing myself to daydream too much about working on the truck yet. It's simply too far into the future for me at this point.

Flip flops and pink shorts......
Nice... lol
Crocs next? Get your A/C in yet?
I thought you wired the garage for 20 amp outlets but you only installed 15 amp outlets?
Probably the same reason as me. I don't have anything with a 20 amp plug. It's perfectly acceptable to use 15 amp outlets on a 20 amp circuit. A buddy of mine tore apart a 15 amp outlets and a 20 amp outlet. They were identical except for the extra slot on the side.
I understand that it's ok to install the 15 amp outlet even though the wiring will accept 20 amp outlets but then it's "false advertisement" for anyone who needs to plug into a 20 amp circuit and not knowing that the wiring is good for 20 amps. Lots of people don't even know how to tell the difference between a 15 amp and 20 amp outlet and maybe Greg just bought the wrong outlets.
I still never use light duty cheap ones.... If it's a buck it's gonna break or get weak. I'll pay the $3 or $4 for hospital or industrial grade any day on an outlet or switch. Even if it is a 15 amp. Most aren't 15 at that level though.
I may be wrong but my understanding of how it is usually done is that when a 20 amp outlet is installed it needs to be on a dedicated circuit. Reason is if an item has a 20 amp plug it has already exceeded a 15 amp breakers capacity.

Well, you know, " might as well".
I look at it as a gentleman’s intermission.
Besides, spray foam, a coffered ceiling, car siding, and air conditioning are basically the garage equivalent of linked mog-9s.

And somewhat required between may and September
WTF! Your new website is blocked by my company firewalls, geez.
